Q&A with Michele Higgins, PharmD, MBA
Michele Higgins, PharmD, MBA, is the pharmacy informatics coordinator for Nebraska Methodist Health System in Omaha, Nebraska. Higgins’ experience, spanning over 20 years, includes implementing systems for automated dispensing cabinets, carousels, pharmacy information systems, bedside barcoding, and setting up a pharmacy department in a brand new facility with a new NICU population utilizing 100% CPOE. Her most recent project has been implementing electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) for providers across Nebraska Methodist Health System. Recently, Higgins spoke about her EPCS implementation experience and advice:
As the healthcare industry moves toward a preventative care model, technology is playing an increasingly critical role at all levels – from CIO, to clinician, to patient. To make new models of emerging, value-based care a reality, healthcare providers are working to improve the speed, quality, safety, and cost of patient care through electronic medical records (EMRs).
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to join the best and brightest of the NHS, many of who are Imprivata customers, at the ehi Awards gala in London. In a time when NHS funds are limited and efficiency gains – clinical and operational – are needed, these finalists represent those that have gone above and beyond to deliver the highest quality care and drive new innovative ways to deliver the right information to the right care provider at the right time in a patient’s journey.
Ensure EPCS success by following these six comprehensive steps. Deploying Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances shouldn't be a headache.

Here’s a list of strategies for selecting a secure texting application that solves specific clinical communication needs
The HITECH Act, HIPAA, as well as mandates from State regulations (e.g. Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00), are raising the minimal requirements that organizations such as healthcare-covered entities and business associates must implement to prevent unauthorized access. Further, the Connecticut Attorney General’s lawsuit against Health Net of Connecticut for failing to secure approximately 446,000 enrollees’ Protected Health Information (PHI), and to notify State authorities and enrollees of a security breach, is a reminder that breaches are not just a risk to information, but a risk to the organization.
We all understand the critical importance of secure messaging within healthcare settings. Indeed, secure messaging has become integral to streamlining care coordination between care teams as well as with other hospital staff.
Less clear, however, are the conditions for its use. All too often, we’re asked the question: just what, exactly, are the conditions for use of secure messaging within healthcare settings?
